The Bangladesh government is trying to seek Interpol's red notice to bring back those involved in the mass killings during July and August, including former PM Sheikh Hasina.

Hasina escaped to India after her government was toppled amid massive protests against her administration on August 5.

Law Affairs Adviser Dr Asif Nazrul was quoted as saying by Dhaka Tribune about the their government's decision to seek Interpol's help to bring back Hasina and other 'fugitives'.

Meanwhile, Bangladeshi Police have detained 10 men from Dhaka for their alleged involvement in making viral an audio clip of former PM Sheikh Hasina with US President-elect Donald Trump's posters.

Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has been put on high alert to thwart any plot by any quarter as part of the conspiracy against the state, read a press release issued by Mohammad Talebur Rahman, deputy commissioner of the Detective Branch (DB) of police, as quoted by Dhaka Tribune.

The operation to arrest the instigators, financiers and those involved in these misdeeds is ongoing, the release said.

In a recent audio clip that went viral on various social media platforms, AL president Sheikh Hasina instructed her party leaders and activists to carry the pictures and placards of the newly elected US president Donald Trump and the US flag as shields in illegal rallies and to collect footage of the vandalism and insults if any happens, the statement said.

Sheikh Hasina's Awami League announced a protest march at Gulistan's Zero Point in Dhaka to mark Noor Hossain Day.

The Anti-Discrimination Student Movement vowed to thwart this rally and announced a counter-program in response to AL's event.

After the fall of Hasina-led government, an interim government took charge of the country following the fall of former PM Sheikh Hasina.

Hasina, the longest-serving PM of the country which was formed in 1971, came to power for another term in January after winning the general polls.
